Re: Preparing a new draft.../ PGP versions 5 and later / ciphertext-format query.....

[Joe Tag <joe.tag@xxxxxxxx>]

I believe that PGP 5.0/5.0i is the MINIMUM BASIC version of the software
that
end-users should use.  That version is available for IBM PC-DOS/MS-DOS,
and 
supports CAST/Diffie-Hellman, as well as IDEA/RSA algorithms and
protocols. 


BTW: Why was Radix-64 developed; and what are the problems of having
ciphertext
output as a hexadecimal file?
